Job Purpose

Support ministry to spiritual and physical needs of uninsured and underserved patients, ensuring those who are traumatized experience YUGM’s ministries as a sanctuary prepared by God for their healing and restoration, resulting in permanent and measurable life transformation. This position promotes dental health as a vital part of our Care Center Team and in fulfillment of our mission, vision, and values.

Promote YUGM Culture by:
  • Consistently living out the beliefs and actions described in YUGM’s Faith Policy.
  • Establishing professional, caring, strengths-based relationships built on truth, respect, encouragement, and trust.
  • Ministering to our clients in kindness and grace, as to promote a shelter culture of relational and client-centered care rather than relying on motivation by rewards/punishments.
Shared in the work of your team by:

  • Modeling the three virtues of an ideal team player: humble (motivation), hungry (passion), smart (emotional intelligence).
  • Working as a member of the Care Center Dental Team helping to guide its culture.
  • Supporting department managers and directors in solving departmental problems and accomplishing the shared goal of following Christ in helping people move from homelessness to wholeness.
  • Understanding that a team is best understood as parts to one whole, and that “having gifts that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them” (Romans 12:6a) and that running a team means understanding each gift and utilize it to the strength of the team as a whole.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.”
2 Corinthians 5:17-20a niv
  • Look for opportunities to lead others in prayer, counsel from God’s Word, and model what it looks like to know God and experience His love and leadership.
Lead with Trauma-Informed Care
  • Counteract the spiritual lies told by our guests' childhood abuse, neglect and trauma by making our Care Center a sanctuary of Christian hospitality in which every person is treated as being made in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27), loved by God (Ps 138:6) and sought by Christ (Lk 19:10).
  • Ensure that Care Center staff know our guests at a personal level so that they experience respect and dignity throughout our efforts to promote their spiritual development. The staff are responsible for offering guests assistance with scripture, prayer, pastoral care, and evangelism.
  • Remind staff that our guests were not kept safe as children, making it essential that we show our guests that God is trustworthy and capable of keeping them safe
  • Remember that as children our guests often had no support, making it essential that you respond to various emergencies, using your training and available technologies to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff. Work with emergency services when required for medical reasons or in response to criminal activity. We must show guests that God sees them & cares
